Hello all.
Please unsubscribe and boycott Activision Blizzard. Here’s some logic and reasoning.
If Blizzard as a company, through Bobby Kotick knew about multiple sexual harassment and other professional issues, then please unsubscribe and boycott as this is grounds for violation of both public and private trust. As a company with shares, there’s laws for this kind of thing.
If Blizzard as a company is acting with a guilty conscience, and changing perceived in-game crimes and slights against women without reasonable cause, such as the paintings of women that were in no way wrong by themselves, and yet the RL choices of one Blizzard Entertainment requires these in game paintings to be removed, why should they be trusted to run the game, WoW, sensibly and with a purpose for the future?
If Blizzard as a company is using its sacred “vision” to be unchanging in its plans and views customers as worthwhile losses rather than alter its said sacred vision, then Blizzard is not worth its customers time, as paying is just handing resources to the tyrant.
If Blizzard has an employee threatening others and then not seeking justice for the wronged party, no matter their in company position. why should Blizzard be trusted? Did Bobby Kotick threaten someone and say they should be killed and then nothing happened, or did they offer said threatened employee bribe / hush money? Great, really honest company business practices, there, Blizzard.
TL:DR: Bobby Kotick and Blizzard are worth boycotting and unsubscribing over because morally speaking, as a business entity and group of individuals, Bobby has aided and abetted criminals that have committed sexual assault and harassment, while Blizzard has also a “Sacred Vision” it is willing to sacrifice customers’ ideas, suggestions, and recommendations to the altar of endless ignoring possibly workable ideas simply because they don’t care about anyone elses’ ideas unless YOU have the gaming industry credentials to back your idea up. No Cred? No idea, they will simply ignore you.
If you don’t care to read the entire TL:DR and the thread, don’t worry, your attention span is the same as Activision Blizzard’s when it comes to “Meaningful” and “We hear you” and “We listened to everything you said” feedback and ideas, which they will just keep ignoring because to them unless we’re at least an equal peer in the industry, we’re wasting their time with our ideas.
